Principles for Language Tests within the Discourse Domains' Theory of Interlanguage: Research, Test Construction and Interpretation.

Douglas, Dan; Selinker, Larry

Language Testing, v2 n2 p205-26 Dec 1985

Discusses an alternative framework for handling language testing and proposes some tentative hypotheses concerning principles of language testing. Suggests that taking account of both interlanguage domain engagement and contextualization in testing research, production, and interpretation allows for a richer conceptualization of the language testing process.
